Up In The Air

I never got hungry for lunch 😥 My wonderfully cold and wet 13miles killed my appetite. But, being the trooper that Iam yet again, I had one of these DELICIOUS raw food protein bars for lunch:

They are all natural, all raw, all delicious. Love love love them. Especially since for christmas my mum bought me a big gift box of these bars (in all different varieties). Ah love it 🙂

The second part of my lunch was just a big bowl o’ roasted veggies – broccoli, brussels and red pepper, covered with garam masala and soy sauce, then topped with parmesan (and s + p). Sounds gross but it was actually spicy and lovely!

But, note to self: brussel sprouts don’t freeze well…These ones were frozen and when they defrosted, they were like mush :s it was weird!! But tasty 🙂

I didn’t have an afternoon snack cos dinner was early – 5pm – as the film was at 6.30.

The film, by the by, was Up In The Air – the one with George Clooney? It was really really good!I hate to admit it, but I’m such a Clooney convert now :p he’s so cute! Yes, very grey and quite wrinkly and old enough to be my dad pretty much..but when he smiles (or talks, or moves..) it’s like ‘AHHH YOU ARE TOO CUTE!’

I LOVE HIM.

The film was really quite funny too, it was directed by the same person who did Juno, so it had the same kind of humour – very dry. I reccomend it stronngly 🙂 And you know what made it 10 times better? The fact that it was accompanied by this bad boy:

Yes my friends, that is about 6scoops of chocolate fudge brownie, with some caramel sauce in the middle, topped with dark chocolate fish.

This mix is more affectionately known as Heaven in a Tub :p The tub on the side is my mum’s (measly 2 scoops :p) tub of cherry garcia – anyone else think that flavour tastes like almonds?? I wish we had more flavours in England, I’m so jealous of all you people in the USA – I went on the American B & J’s website (yes, I blatantly have too much time on my hands) and looked at all the flavours, and OH MY GOSH! Now I know why there is an obesity epidemic over there!! My dream is to one day live in the US, and have B & J Friday or something, where each week I buy a new tub of Ben & Jerry’s in a flavour I’ve never had before…

Seriously, could I get any sadder lol!!??

On that positve note, that’s about all for tonight! I’m mega tired and want to go to bed hehe 🙂 I’ve got a little walk-run planned with my mum tomorrow morning – no major running tomorrow – so goodnight everyone!

Love Trek bars! well actually i’ve only tried the mixed berry but it was fabulous, what other flavours are there?
I’m currently working my way through a mahoosive box of nakd bars, yum 😀

and yay, that icecream is epic!
i don’t see the george clooney attraction personally but hey to each their own 😛

also great job on the 13 miles & good luck for the half marathon!
i’ve kind of committed myself to run my first half in october (i know ages away but the big half in my city is then and i don’t want the final parts of my training to be in the middle of exams so that rules out the whole other one near to me) which is exciting and scary!
can’t wait to get back to running tomorrow now the snow has gone, i’ve been an elliptical junkie for the last few weeks!

Haha you sound so similar to me! I too want to move to America, and B&J Friday definitely sounds like something I can get onboard with!! Have you been to a Coldstone ice-cream parlour over there? It’s like a create-your-own version of B&J. A-maz-ing!

Hatty, there’s a cocoa trek bar and also a peanut and oat one that’s luuurrvely!

Hatty – there are LOADS of flavours! Have you been on their website? There’s pecan pie, gingerbread, um…about a million more!
I never used to like Clooney, but I must say until you’ve seen him in vintage ER, no-one can comment 😛
Good luck for the half marathon! It’s better to start early cos you can take things gradually, take breaks etc, so good for you!!

Samantha – I haven’t been there no! But I’m doing a marathon in Washington in Oct, so I think that’ll be the place I go straight after :p it sounds proper good!

Oh, and the cocoa trek bar is SO GOOD! Yet to try the peanut one though, it’s next on my list 🙂
